Official Contest Rules and Regulations

1. CONTEST DESCRIPTION
No purchase necessary. All Reel Asian E-Bulletin Contests (the “Contests”) commence and conclude in EST (or EDT when applicable) on the dates & times specified (the “Contest Period”) in the original E-Bulletin. The Contests are brought to you by The Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival® (“Reel Asian”) with its principal place of business at 401 Richmond Street West, Suite 309, Toronto, ON M5V 3A8. By entering, each entrant (“Entrant”) accepts and agrees to be bound by these official contest rules and regulations (“Official Rules”).

2. ELIGIBILITY
The Contest is open to legal residents of Canada who are the age of majority in their province/territory of residence or older as of the first day of the Contest Period, excluding all residents of the province of Quebec. Notwithstanding the above, the Contest is not open to individuals associated with the Contest, including the employees, agents or representatives of Reel Asian and suppliers providing prizes or other materials or services in connection with this Contest (collectively, the “Excluded Individuals”). This Contest is also not open to the immediate family members of the Excluded Individuals. An Entrant is not a winner of any prize until Entrant’s eligibility has been verified and Entrant has been notified that verification is complete. Winning Entrants may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility and liability release form affirming their agreement to all terms, conditions, and restrictions in these Official Rules and any other document as applicable, within ten (10) days of notice of winning.

3. PRIZES
The prizes are specified in the original ballot or e-newsletter with an approximate & actual retail value that varies from contest to contest. The winning Entrant will not receive the difference between actual and approximate retail value. The odds of winning a prize will depend upon the total number of eligible entries received during the Contest Period.

Reel Asian reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute any prize for its cash value or a prize of approximately the same retail value. The prize awarded is non-transferable, must be accepted as awarded by Reel Asian and may not be exchanged or redeemed for cash, sold, or traded. The refusal by an Entrant to accept any prize releases forever Reel Asian of all obligations related to the prize, including delivery. Failure to collect a prize within thirty (30) days of notification of award constitutes forfeiture of the prize. If forfeited, the prize will remain the property of Reel Asian. Another winner may be selected at Reel Asian’s sole discretion.
